Advancing operational flood forecasting, early warning and risk management with new emerging science (2023)
Journal Article
Kiptum, A., Mwangi, E., Otieno, G., Njogu, A., Kilavi, M., Mwai, Z., …C. Todd, M. (2023). Advancing operational flood forecasting, early warning and risk management with new emerging science. Journal of Flood Risk Management, https://doi.org/10.1111/jfr3.12884

Kenya and the wider East African region suffer from significant flood risk, as illustrated by major losses of lives, livelihoods and assets in the most recent years. This is likely to increase in future as exposure rises and rainfall intensifies unde...
